Sthuplrr'a Harduare.

Every Lady has a natural
pride in her table and next to a
good meal, which is an estab-
lished necessity to keep the man
of the house in a good humor,
comes the adornment of the ta-
bic. In this respect hands ONE
silver ware has no equal and the
great decline in prices has placed
in it the reach of all. Owing to
the great demand for reliable
goods, we have recently added
to our stock large line Of
Rodgers quadruple plated ware.
Tea sets, Butter dishes, Table
casters, Pickle casters, Syrup
cups, Cake baskets, Berry dishes,
Card stands, Ice pitchers, Cups,
Individual casters, Napkin rings,
Table, Dessert and Tea spoons,
Knives and Forks, Fruit knives
and Nut Picks, in plain, ivory
and pearl handles with and with
out cases, in such a variety of
patterns we cannot fail to suit
you. In selecting our stock
our aim is to buy the lest goods,
such as we can warrant just as
we represent them We buy
direct from the factory AMI sell
as low as the quality will per-
nit. We are not in the mark
ct for competition with low pri-
ced goods, but will refund the
money for any article sold which
IS not as we represent it. We
have been literally rewarded in
our sales for our eff prts, and are
getting new goods every week,
which we take pleasure in hav-
ing inspected. Owing to the
high reputation of the genuine
Rodgers ware, unscrupulous
dealers are continual y resorting
to fraudulent meth IDS to sell
their wares under the name OF
Rodgers and parties running
through thecountry peddling,
representing themselves as ira
yelling for Rodgers, are simply
impostors and their wares cheap
trash. Rodgers sell only to deal
ers and only such goods as beal
thetrade marks are genuine, i
you know them all right,fif no
T you are the party they are hunt
: ing for. A small piece of gun
camphor placed with your silver
will help to prevent its tarnish
